Important Owner Information
Read and Follow Instructions –Please read this entire manual before unpacking and setting up your BG Z-Series loudspeakers. For maximum performance and years of trouble-free enjoyment, all operating and use instructions should be followed.
Retain – DO NOT discard any factory packing material. The packing and shipping materials may be required in the unlikely event your loudspeakers need to be moved or shipped to our service center at BG.
Cleaning – Use a wax-free cleaning substance only (i.e. Pledge™) with a soft, dry polishing cloth, not a paper-based chamois. DO NOT apply any cleaning solutions to the grill cloth.
Liquid – DO NOT place BG loudspeakers near an open source of liquid that may spill on the loudspeaker surfaces.
Heat – DO NOT place BG loudspeakers near a direct heat source.
Tipping –Place your loudspeakers on a smooth flat surface and with the Z- 7 Tower, use the enclosed spiked feet on carpeted surfaces. A loudspeaker tipping over can pose a hazard for small children and pets.

General Information
Unpacking Your BG Loudspeakers
1.Place the shipping box on its side. Open the end of the box that is opposite to the end that says, “open other side”.
2.Remove the metal spikes (used with floorstanding models) or the rubber feet that are taped to one of the cardboard flaps or tucked into the packing materials.
3.Place the box vertically on the floor with the top flaps opened out so that the loudspeaker stands upside down on the top foam cap.
4.Pull the carton box up carefully, supporting the loudspeaker vertically.
5.Holding the loudspeaker steady, remove the foam cap from under the loudspeaker. Pull off the protective plastic bag.
Assembly Instructions: Screw in spiked feet or peel off rubber feet and position according to installation application.
Proper Hookup: Red terminal post to the positive (+) amplifier post Black terminal post to the negative (-) amplifier post
Most BG loudspeakers can be bi-wired or bi-amped by simply removing the gold plated jumper to allow separate wires to be run to the low and high pass section of your system.
Break-In Times: Typically a BG loudspeaker requires not less than 48 hours of operation at moderate sound level before reaching its optimum sound quality. This improvement may be rather subtle but noticeable for a trained listener. Note: Do not play your loudspeakers excessively loud to try to accelerate this process!
Amplifier: BG loudspeakers are extremely accurate and deliver a high degree of detail and resolution. Therefore a good 100-150 watt per channel amplifier or receiver will deliver adequate power for a typical system and room size. Your authorized BG dealer can recommend an amplifier best suited to your needs.
